JOSE DAVID DEL MORAL ERENCIA

Jose David Del Moral Erencia is a researcher affiliated with the University of Jaén in the Department of Mechanical and Mining Engineering. His work focuses on Fluid Mechanics, particularly in the context of flood dynamics and climate change impacts on Mediterranean hydrological systems.

• Education: PhD from the University of Jaén (2021), with a thesis analyzing flood evolution in the Guadalquivir River Basin.

His research integrates hydrological modeling, sedimentology, and climate change adaptation, evidenced by publications on flood hazard mapping, megaflood-scale dune formation, and gully erosion risks. Key methodologies include remote sensing, slackwater sediment analysis, and long-term hydrological data. He collaborates with the Análisis de Cuencas y Geología Ambiental research group.

Research Trends:

• Climate change effects on sub-daily rainfall and flood frequency
• Hydrodynamic modeling of catastrophic flooding (e.g., Messinian salinity crisis)
• Sedimentological records of extreme hydrological events
• Anthropogenic impacts on river channel capacity
• Mediterranean basin-specific flood risk assessment
